Study Notes
Reagents Used in Detection of Alkaloids
- Mayer's Reagent: potassium mercuric iodide solution, produces a cream-colored reaction
- Wagner's Reagent: solution of iodine in potassium iodide, produces a reddish-brown reaction
- Dragendorff's Reagent: potassium bismuth iodide solution, produces a reddish-brown reaction
- Hager's Reagent: saturated solution of picric acid, produces a yellow reaction
- Picrolonic acid: picrolonic acid solution, produces a yellow reaction
- Tannic acid: produces a yellow crystalline precipitate
Reagents Used in Detection of Specific Alkaloids
- Murexide Test: potassium chlorate, HCl, and NH3, produces a purple reaction (caffeine)
- Mineral acids: phosphotungstic acid and phosphomolybdic acid, produce a yellow reaction
- Acidic p-methyl aminobenzaldehyde: p-methylaminobenzaldehyde and sulfuric acid, produces a bluish-violet to red reaction (colchicine)
- Nitric acid: dilute nitric acid, produces an orange-red reaction (indole)
- Marquis Reagent: formaldehyde and concentrated sulfuric acid, produces:
- Purple to black reaction (ecstasy)
- Orange to brown reaction (amphetamine)
- Deep purplish-red reaction (morphine)
